That makes no sense at all. The $85 billion were INCREASES in the budget. Employees who retired were already in the budget. There was already money there for replacements. This funding is not for replacements but is additional funding for new employees. The figure given was 85,000 new employees. There is no way the IRS was under staffed by 85,000 people. That is total nonsense.
Fire em all. Half of em haven’t paid their own taxes. Bunch of criminal hacks. Lock em up!
In 2021 the IRS had approximately 79,000 employees. Adding 85,000 new positions represents a 207% increase. This kind of increase in the workforce is unreasonable by any measure. This is just another example of government run amok.
Trump taking care of business at Davos. Making America proud again. Bringing us from the brink of destruction to the top economic country in the world in 3 days. That’s how it’s done!
I loved watching the Q & A session this morning. He definitely let the entire world know he means business as far as tariffs, climate change, and EU interference in business project approvals. Also put the EU on notice that if they continue to fine U.S. companies they will end up paying a heavy price in additional tariffs.
Yes it is unreasonable considering this is more employees than the agency has EVER had by a large margin. Did you even think to consider how this number was even arrive at? What was the basis? At first it was argued that these were replacements, but that was obviously a lie since you don't have to use new money to replace money already in the budget.
That's rich. Any other time you would be arguing Trump's people were terrible. I don't give a rat's ass what the commissioner says, the facts and logic say different. And, you actually TRUST the IRS? I don't think there is anything we can do to help you.
I see you completely misunderstand the argument even after it was explained to you. I can explain it but I can't make you understand it.
What a dumbass statement to make. Since they hire incompetent people, your answer is to hire more? How about we just disband the wasteful and incompetent agency?
Don't forget that all 85,000 were to be armed for some reason.
Speaking of brain dead, you really have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. These two organizations are not comparable. Tesla is a manufacturing company that produces a product. That product is made by its employees. The IRS does not produce a product. Its employees bring in very little of the revenue. This shows how little you know about our tax system. We have what is known as a voluntary compliance system. The revenues are sent in by the taxpayers who are complying with their obligations. The employees at the IRS have little to do with this. They are processors. They have nothing to do with the estimated tax payments I mail in each quarter other than to deposit the money and record it. And they sometimes do a lousy job at that.
Well said. You should get a write off for tutoring this moron. Should be worth a couple of hundred a hour Because he’s very, very slow and probably will never get it
Bingo! You said the right word: "PROCESSING". Maybe with a little more work you will finally get it. You weren't arguing how much work they do. You were talking about how much revenue they bring in. Since you were corrected on that I guess you had to change your narrative.
One thing is for sure. You cannot compare a manufacturing company to a government agency. Totally apples and oranges.
No, it shows how little you understand about the IRS and how it operates and what it does.
No, a normal (and intellectually honest) person realizes that an agency responsible for processing and auditing 5.1 trillion in revenue comes with a lot of work.
Only if you're being intellectually dishonest. Just because a government agency doesn't charge a price for its service, it still has work to do.
